    That's a cool promotion. But how many charging stations do they have? What happens if all 5 arrive at the same time?

    They have 2 ZCW Charging Stations today (1 x 13A "UK" and 1 x 32A "Commando") but all sites are prepared to support more cars through temporary facilities and eventually more Charging Stations (our 13A "UK" Charging Stations retails at £100, our 32A "Commando" at £150, and our 32A "mennekes" at £250).

    I love the fact that Chris Lewis has gone for it big-time. Some said it couldn't be done


    Is that a J1772 one on the far right that is obscured? It has the same cable holder one top.

    Chris is a typical example of the people that take up our free Charging Stations offer... they commit to EV infrastructure even though they don't actually drive an EV today. These are the people that the UK Government should be supporting.

    I'm sure people will be saying the same thing once we have an open network with 10,000 Charging Stations installed

    Yes, it's J1772... to the far right we setup a display area with lots of different Charging Stations to show visitors. This included solutions for home with fixed cables (J1772), and ruggedised products for car parks, etc. We're trying to help people understand that they can have rugged, reliable, and robust solutions at very low cost.

    Are you also selling those home-chargingstations with the fixed cable?

    not today.... however, if prices from mainstream suppliers remain high on these products we will enter the market with a low cost home EVSE.
